EUR/CAD declines toward 1.5900 as Eurozone HICP inflation figures approach
EUR/CAD Continues Downward Trend Amid Rising Oil Prices
On Tuesday during European trading hours, EUR/CAD continued its decline for a fourth consecutive session, hovering near 1.5910. Market participants are closely monitoring the upcoming release of the Eurozone’s preliminary Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for February, which is expected later today.
The pair’s weakness is largely attributed to the Canadian Dollar’s strength, which has been bolstered by increasing Oil prices. As a leading exporter of crude, Canada’s currency often reacts strongly to fluctuations in the Oil market.
Currently, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil is approaching the $75.00 mark. Ongoing concerns about supply disruptions, stemming from conflict in the Middle East, are supporting higher crude prices. According to US military sources, command centers belonging to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, along with Iranian missile and air defense installations, have been targeted and destroyed since the joint Israeli-US operations began on Saturday.
Furthermore, the Canadian Dollar is gaining additional momentum as elevated Oil prices stoke fears of renewed inflationary pressures in Canada. Investors are increasingly concerned that rising energy costs may prompt central banks to maintain higher interest rates for an extended period.

1. Markets diverged during the week. Between the October 23 and October 30 closes, BTC fell 4.78%, the Nasdaq 100 declined 1.98%, and gold and silver dropped 2.72% and 8.59%, respectively.

Market reactions to Alphabet's and Intel's earnings brought returns on AI investment into focus. Attention is shifting from the scale of capital expenditure to revenue realization, margins and free cash flow. Lower interest rates can ease discount-rate pressure, but a sustained valuation recovery still requires support from both operating performance and financing conditions. 3. The November 3 US midterm elections and November 6 employment report are key events in the coming week. We monitor how post-election fiscal and legislative agendas may affect interest rates, the dollar and industry operating conditions. Our execution priorities are to manage leverage and concentration, retain margin and exit-liquidity buffers, and avoid treating a single political outcome as an automatic trading signal. 4. Following Binance's disclosure of a security incident, industry attention to endpoint protection, access segregation and coordinated incident response has increased. Key assets to monitor: BTC, the Nasdaq 100, crude oil and gold, alongside upcoming earnings from AAPL, AMD, PLTR, ARM, ANET and QCOM.
